Hearts & Flowers

Open for business!
For years I've had the shop name of Hearts & Flowers in the back of my mind, although I imagined a florist shop! However, I think that it will perfectly suit this little venture. All the items have been handmade by me, Jo Boland, a stay at home Mum to two little boys. I found that when staying at home all day I needed to do something for myself, something creative. So after making several things for our home and for friends and family as gifts I have decided to try to turn it into a business venture, albeit very small! I use fabrics by Cath Kidston and Laura Ashley and team them up with pretty ginghams and plain cottons. As well as the items shown below I plan to make Christmas bunting and tree decorations. I am going to buy in some Pink Spot fabric by Cath Kidston and will be making more kids aprons in both this colour and the blue spot which will be washable. If you woud like doorstops or fabric bags made to order in these fabrics please let me know.
Thanks for looking, hope you like what you see. Jo
